FA Cup Final ticket allocation announced:

http://www.evertonfc.com/news/archive/final-allocation-announced.html

We've been given 25,000 tickets - fucking disgrace! Assuming Chelsea will be given roughly the same that means there'll be 40,000, YES 40,000 tickets going to non 'fans'! Sort your fucking priorities out FA you money grabbing cunts!

Atleast we're playing in blue :-)

We have a weak team right now and gifted Liverpool 3 goals through shocking defending. you played that like a cup final.
When we got hold of the ball we opened you up to easy - sadly our midfield looked a bit sluggish after the Chelsea game

Get it right Dicki - we put it in the back of the net 6 times - 2 disallowed- 1 of those should have stood

Liverpool spent hundreds of millions more than us and you will finish 8-9 points above winning fuck all. I wouldn't be happy with that

We have had a shocker of a year but it's on the up, the Beast was not up to it, just too slow but he did have one good game. St Andrei has been man of the match every game. but its Eduardo you want to watch out for.. when Wenger see's the light and sticks Nicky on the bench!

We lost to a good chelsea team but it was men against boys in the second half, They are two strong - but we will see off their title challange and do them in Europe!

65.000 silent prawn sanger eating "fans"... Be a great day out!

Wembley need the advance buys, season tickets and sponsor ship to keep it running, its only used 15 odd times a year for big games.
All that cash for such a shit pitch.. sweet!

I blame it on the Aussies, if they'd've finished building the place on time....

Most non-league football clubs get an allocation of tickets as part of their affiliation to the FA. That must take up a fair few thousand of the 40000 left over.

It's still not right though.

I blame it on the Aussies, if they'd've finished building the place on time....

If you speak to them then they'll blame it on the shoddy British architects and contractors.

Next time you're at Souths I'll tell you more on this.

thats why i am glad Arsenal aren't there.....

always blame the architects andy.

I think Multiplex and their lawyers do.

It's a digrace though that there's a bigger percentage of tickets going to neutrals than to one of the teams/fans actually playing. Means that some pellet from Kidderminster Harriers could be sat in a seat where an Evertonian should be. Wrong, VERY wrong

Wasn't like this in the old days

Actually it was like that in the old days. Wembley held 100k, clubs got 25k each and rest to the FA, small clubs, officials etc.

If your stuck for one, I know where Bobby Charlton lives, so I'll pop round and ask if his are going spare.

Have to disagree there Ronnie. The 84, 85, 86, 89 finals we had atleast 40,000 there, especially for the Mersey ones.

but ticket prices have risen faster than Benefits Graham...

aye, but touts, robbing, special scouse charm. etc. and so on.

(wind up)

You may well have had that number there, I doubt the clubs were officially awarded that many tickets. I may be wrong mind.

To be fair your average attendance is what, 35k ? All your ST holders will get one I suspect.

You after one BTW, I know people who regularly get tickets for cup finals, so I can have a look out for you, should be easier as Man U ain't there.

Mate, if you get me a ticket I'll let you fuck my Mrs - condom though ;-)

I've already asked my usual sources but if the semi was anything to go by(when we had 32k) it'll be tough

The other thing that fucks me off about this whole thing is that the FA are always twinin about 'tickets falling into the wrong hands/touts etc' yet they stick 40,000 on the open market for touts to snap up!!?

It's done on Credit. the more away matches you watch the higher up the list you are.
We buy tickets for Wigan, Spurs and West Brom away to support your team and in return you get a ticket to the big matches. in my eyes thats fair. those fans there will have deserved it

ST holders with 5 away stubs get priority, they're only allowed 1 tkt per person, then it goes to ST without away stubs
We have 28/29K ST holders

Of our 25k tickets I reckon that players and staff will get over 1,000 and corporate partners double that, so say 2,000
Then Bill Kenwright our chairman will take how many, 100??

The two Sir Philips(board) will probably take the same

Shareholders and supporters clubs maybe 500.

So in theory maybe 21,000 for season ticket holders and others after all the top boys have been divvied out with tkts.....

A fair few 1,000 season ticket holders will miss out

WANK!

Same at the Arsenal - but they put the away stubs up to 25 for finals. you are looking at around £3000 in tickets and travel for those points, plus your £1000+ season ticket.

What's sad is some cunt who hasn't been through that gets a ticket becuase he works for a company whose name is on the billboard and couldn't even name the first team.

You never know those 1000 odd might not want to fork out the cash and watch it with friends.
I cried off semi Final tickets to spend the money to go to Anfield.. turned out to be the right choice ;)

The worst website on the planet for stories has just got worse.....
